Chapter 1568: Big Misunderstanding

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Youre finally back. Ive been waiting for you for a long time.

Upon seeing Ji Qingyan, Song Jiayu put down the apple in her hand and went over to give her a big hug.

Come, come, come. I missed you so much. We havent seen each other for more than half a year.

Its because youre a busy person. Things are different now. Youre already the boss of a start-up company. Ill send you ten WeChat messages, but youll only reply to me three times at most. You still have the cheek to criticize me.

When they were young, Ji Qingyans uncles family background was not very good. He worked hard outside all year round and no one took care of Song Jiayu, so he sent her to the Ji family. The two of them had slept on the same bed until the age of six, so their relations.h.i.+p was especially good.

Haih, my good sister. Song Jiayu wrapped her arms around Ji Qingyans neck in a despicable manner.

Havent I genuinely been too busy recently? Dont argue with me. Besides, Ive also sent you a WeChat message recently. You only replied to me after a long time.

Its the end of the year. The company is holding an annual meeting and theres a new project. Id obviously be busy.

I think thats all an excuse. You forgot about me after you got a boyfriend. Im so pitiful. Not only do I not have a boyfriend, but Ive also been abandoned by my sister.

Alright, alright, stop pretending to be pitiful. Your tricks wont work on me.

Under Lin Yis tutelage, such a simple and meaningless method was no longer effective on Ji Qingyan.

Hehe, Sis, I have something serious to tell you, Song Jiayu said in all seriousness.

What business? Is it about your company?

Mhm, Song Jiayu nodded.

We want to start an offline business in Zhonghai. Youve been in business for so many years, so you should have a lot of connections. Can you help me?

I can help you, but theres no point in taking out a project proposal. Without a steady stream of funds, youll eventually go bankrupt, said Ji Qingyan.

Youd better settle the funding first.

Ji Qingyan had long known about Song Jiayus entrepreneurs.h.i.+p and knew that she was short of funds.

Initially, she wanted to ask Lin Yi if he could invest, but after careful consideration, she gave up on this plan.

This was because the Lingyun Group was currently in the semiconductor industry. Although Song Jiayus entrepreneurial project was in the Internet industry, it was more inclined to the real economy and went against the Lingyun Groups general direction.

In addition, Song Jiayu was her sister. Even if there was a problem with the project plan, Lin Yi would invest for her sake. His investment might very well go down the drain.

Due to these two reasons, Ji Qingyan did not tell Lin Yi about this matter. Having her settle this matter herself was also a form of training for herself.

Dont worry about that. Ive already taken care of the funding problem.

It hasnt been long and youve already pulled in 15 million yuan. Thats very good.

Youre looking down on me if you say that. Fifteen million is nothing. Its just a drizzle.

Ji Qingyan looked at Song Jiayu curiously. Could you have pulled in more investments?

Song Jiayu crossed her legs and proudly stretched out three fingers.

Thirty million?

Clever.

Ive seen your project proposal. I would find it difficult for you to get an investment of 15 million yuan. Now, youve actually pulled in 30 million yuan at once. Your performance is not bad.

Actually, I only wanted 20 million at first, but he asked for 30 million. I couldnt refuse, so I reluctantly agreed, Song Jiayu said smugly.

Ji Qingyan was well aware of Song Jiayus capabilities.

She was a little smart, talented, and resilient, but she was not outstanding in any aspect. However, she had managed to pull in 30 million yuan in her Series A. Ji Qingyan was very surprised.

Is there an expert guiding you from behind?

Do you really not trust my abilities? Song Jiayu said.

I pulled in 30 million on my own. I had nothing to do with anyone else.

Ji Qingyans interest was piqued as well. Then tell me, how did you get them to invest more money?

With my beauty and my legs.

Huh? You went to seduce someone? How could you do such a thing? Ill tell my second uncle later.

Calm down. Its not as bad as you think. I didnt sell my body, let alone my soul, Song Jiayu said.

When I was talking about investing, I showed off a little skin and tempted him. Then, he decided to invest 30 million yuan in me, Song Jiayu said.

Ive already decided that the next time I see him, Ill wear a tight dress and black silk. Im going to make him unable to stop.

Youre really hopeless. I cant believe you could even use such a method. Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes.

Its just that youre too old-fas.h.i.+oned. Women have to take advantage of their strengths, Song Jiayu said.

Otherwise, wouldnt it be worthless for me to spend so much money on beauty treatments and maintenance every year?

Thats not how you do it. In business, you have to be honest and straightforward. Using these shady methods wont work.

Although the process was a little off, the result was good. Song Jiayu said.

And theres something you might not know. The little brother who decided to invest in me is especially handsome. Hes like a movie star. Perhaps because of this, the two of us are fated. Hell be your brother-in-law in the future.

I dont care if you can become my brother-in-law or not. The most important thing is that you have to complete the financing through normal means.

If theres a problem with the project itself, when you reach Series B and Series C, the financing will definitely reach a roadblock. You wont even be able to cry.

Oh, Im aware of that. But no matter what, Ive secured the funding, which is a good start. Now, I just need my sisters help. As long as we can secure the deal with Zhonghai, Ill have the confidence to raise Series B funding. Then, Ill have a foothold in the startup market.

My connections are limited. If you really want to do this, when your brother-in-law comes later, have a few drinks with him and ask him for help.

Song Jiayu winked at Ji Qingyan.

I heard that my brother-in-law is also a handsome man.

That goes without saying. Ji Qingyan said proudly.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hes definitely not as good-looking as the little brother who invested in me, Song Jiayu said.

When our relations.h.i.+p improves, Ill invite you all out for a meal and let you meet your future brother-in-law. You can help me check him.

Thats not a problem.

As he spoke, the sound of brakes came from the courtyard. Lin Yi walked into the house with the gift he had bought in advance.

All, why is the little brother who invested in me here?! Song Jiayu exclaimed..
